Someone at planet told me that they have changed the test interval from 3 yrs to 5yrs on air bottles.... can anyone confirm??


Cheers

Yes but only for the new bottle regulations...all other older bottles will still have to be tested as often as before...can't change a bottle just 'cos the rules change sorta thing.

Not quite as simple as that

All CE bottles are 5 years
some HSE bottles are 3, some are 5 depending on composition

I think DW`s right, the aluminium composition HSE bottles (which I think are the standard ones that used to come with armageddons) are 5 year, the rest are 3

Wotcha!

I thought my bottle was up for a test in August but the guy from HPac told me it had 2 more years to run. AFAIKR it's the same as your bottle.
